“What Were You Wearing? Survivor Art Installation” is the powerhouse much-needed exhibition that demolishes one of the fundamental flaws in rape culture where a victim’s attire becomes reasoning for their attack. The installation with on exhibition last week at the Kansas Union gallery on the University of Kansas campus and it featured a display of outfits worn by sexual assault survivors during their attack. The point? To show that sexual assault occurs regardless of what one is wearing and that victim blaming is misplaced cruelty.
